Il sorvolo del #Giappone da parte di un missile balistico della Corea del Nord non è un inedito. Chiedere per capire ai residenti di #Hokkaido, già 5 anni or sono svegliati dagli altoparlanti che lanciavano l'allarme: "Lancio missilistico! Trovate rifugio sottoterra!".

Il pur inquietante suono delle sirene udite in 🇯🇵 è comunque meno allarmante della spregiudicatezza di #KimJongUn, leader alla perenne ricerca di attenzione da parte degli USA, attualmente impegnati su altri fronti e oggi richiamati a preoccuparsi degli umori di #Pyongyang.

D'altronde è una questione di interesse nazionale. Il missile lanciato oggi dalla Corea del Nord, forse un Hwasong-12, ha coperto una distanza di 4500 km, record nella storia del programma balistico 🇰🇵. #Guam, territorio USA nel Mar delle Filippine, dista "appena" 3380 km.

Thread: #Putin’s Worldview:

1. He doesn’t accept defeat. Putin has never “lost” a conflict of scale. Sometimes that comes at high cost to #Russia, certainly the present econ sanctions are an example of that, plus high casualties. This leads to…
2. Win at all costs. See video from #Mariupol to see what Russian mass fires look like in 2022. Eastern and central #Ukraine are beginning to resemble #Aleppo Syria. He intends to hollow out Ukrainian state via mass distraction of infrastructure and economy. This achieves his…
3. Core goal: end Ukraine’s modernization. Putin said he wants to “demilitarize” the country, and many analysts thought that meant defeating Ukrainian military/occupation. So did I once. But lately my opinion has been that demilitarisation equates to destroying capacity to live…

I think Northkorea will keep details about the eighth party congress secret which it said would be held in early January longer secret instead this well lets call it "nonsense". They instead praise the leadership...
North Korea declared the opening dates 20 days and 10 days before the day-long event for the sixth Workers' Party congress, held in October 1980 and the seventh in May 2016. But nothing until now...
For the last party congress in 2016, some 3,000 selected party members from around the country had assembled in Pyongyang.

Northkorea published a video about "North koreas fight against Corona" with the video named in japanese "北朝鮮 「 非常 防疫 大戦 : 新型 コロナ 防疫 宣伝 煽動 番 組 ( H84H8 NO 早 LE9 08 ) 」 KCTV 2021/01/04 日本語 字幕 付き" or in
english "North Korea "Emergency Epidemic Prevention War: New Corona Epidemic Prevention Promotion Group (H84H8 NO Early LE9 08)" KCTV 2021/01/04". I mean is it just me or is it very weird they often show only one person disinficated a area or unnecesary places were no people are?
The video it self is very likely only from Pyongyang and near by area so dont think that other parts of NK would be like Pyongyang. Between Pyongyang and the rest of NK are world diffrences in infrastructure and constructions and more.

For Covid flouters, North Korean authorities have opened prison camps, naming them "special criminals," with some reportedly dying a day after being placed there.
A new policy has been developed by the North Korean Workers' Party that categorizes as 'special criminals' those who violate quarantine laws, claiming they are guilty of political crimes - despite reports that there has not been one case of the virus in the region.
The camps, which have so far seen 'greatly growing' numbers of quarantine violators, have been approved by Kim Jong-un, the country's chief, reports the Express. A new prison camp was opened in Hwachon, according to a source, that will accommodate the new category of convict.

Voice of America notes that last month, owing to border closures in the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic, North Korean exports to China plummeted to just over two thousand dollars.
According to VOA, Chinese customs data reveals that in November, North Korean exports to China accounted for $2,382.
This excludes just over one million dollars from the export of electricity from the jointly built hydroelectric power plant, which VOA does not consider as an export.
Among the products exported to China by North Korea, cosmetics made up the largest share, at over $1800.

#NorthKorea #UN #IAEO #Pyongyang #AtomicBombs

After a recent report said the isolated nation's nuclear weapons arsenal was breaching international law, North Korea has accused the UN agency responsible for controlling atomic energy of being a puppet of hostile countries.
Since abandoning the Non-Proliferation Treaty in 2003, Pyongyang has steadily developed an atomic arsenal and has tested many nuclear bombs in the years since.
North Korea 's military has made rapid progress in its nuclear arms and ballistic missile programs since Kim Jong Un took over from his father as the country's supreme leader, and has been subjected to increasingly strict international sanctions as a result.

As North Korea faces a new wave of starvation, North Korean leader Kim Jong Un has threatened penalties for people found wasting food.
“At the beginning of this month, the Central Committee [of the Korean Workers’ Party] ordered residents to actively participate in solving our food crisis this year as part of a food-saving struggle,”
@RadioFreeAsia was told on condition of anonymity by an official from the country's North Hamgyong province. “The order emphasized that the struggle not only solves the problem of how we will eat, it is a matter of protecting the socialist system,” the source added.

A study found that the rate of increase in total factor productivity of the North Korean economy has been negative since the 1970s.
This means that the capital and labor input to the economy continued to increase, but the efficiency of the economic structure steadily declined. The researchers said, "It clearly shows that long-term growth can only be promoted by (North Korean) system change."
